Some parts of the garden are for the rest of the world to admire. Others are for you to disappear to when you don't want to be found. Of course, that's easy enough to arrange when you have lots of land with space for the kids to run round and cosy“garden rooms" for the adults to enjoy.But when your garden is on the small side,you might think it's a tall order. Well,you're wrong.

To create a secret garden, people tend to take the routine: surrounding a small garden with high fences and then placing a lawn (草坪) in the middle and borders round the edge. Far from making the most of the area, that just makes it look a lot smaller and moreboring. Dividing it up makes much more use of your space and means you can have your practical family area plus a secret garden.

When you're searching for the perfect secret site within your existing set-up,consider your present favourite spot. A secret garden needs to be special-a complete contrast to the more practical family parts of the garden.Perhaps you take a folding chair down to a quiet corner that gets evening sun; maybe you sit and watch the pond or simply slip out to the patio (露臺(tái)) with a glass of wine.

It's quite easy to change an existing favourite feature into a secret place. You could top the patio with a pergola (棚架) pole and plant a grapevine for shade, or position a bench overlooking the pond and plant bamboos to screen it from the rest of the garden.

The areas you create needn't all to be the same size一- or even the same style-but if you're planning a major redesign, take your time and work it out on paper before committing time and money. Then when it's done, you'll really be able to relax and enjoy it.
